Among the regulatory legal acts, the following documents can be distinguished:

  • Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 21, 2006 No. 25 “On approval of the Rules for the use of residential premises”;
  • Federal Law No. 52 of March 30, 1999 “On the sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population”;
  • Law of the Russian Federation No. 4979-1 of May 14, 1993 “On Veterinary Medicine”.

In 2018, a bill on the responsible treatment of animals was prepared for the second reading (but has not yet been approved). It is intended that its provisions will come into force legal force since June, but it has not yet been adopted.

In addition to the listed regulations, some issues may be regulated in the Housing Code, Civil Code and Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. In addition, local authorities have the right to approve their own bills regarding the rules for keeping pets in apartments. However, they cannot contradict legislation adopted at the federal level.

Separately, mention should be made of the initiative of deputies to create a bill on microchipping of animals. It was planned to approve the need to assign each animal (dog, cat, hamster, etc.) a unique identification code, which would contain information about the owner, diseases, ancestors and other information about the animal. However, the adoption of such a law is not expected in 2018.

What animals are classified as domestic animals by law?

The legislation does not have a clear definition of a pet. In other words, a citizen has the right to have and place in his apartment not only a cat, dog or parrot, but also a more exotic pet - a lion, python, hippopotamus.

There is no ban on specific species. However, there is a rule according to which accommodation should not interfere with the people around you.

However, there are several signs by which an animal can be considered domestic:

  • it is registered and has a veterinary passport;
  • it is vaccinated against rabies;
  • apply to pets preventive actions– for example, he is wearing a flea collar or the animal is subject to regular treatment for other diseases.

These requirements are mandatory in most cases. If the above points are violated, certain measures may be applied to the owner.

Rules for keeping dogs and cats in an apartment building

The basic requirements for keeping dogs and cats in an apartment building are highlighted. Here they are:

  1. The pet must live in the owner's living space. It is not allowed to use common property for these purposes - entrance, landing, basement, attic.
  2. You must not intentionally injure, abuse or harm an animal in any other way. The owner of the pet is obliged to provide proper care for it.
  3. If a pet causes any damage to another person, its owner will be responsible for such actions. In such situations, moral damages, compensation for treatment (if required) and an accrued fine are paid.
  4. The owner of the animal is obliged to monitor its behavior. It is strictly forbidden to threaten your pet or set it against other people. If the animal attacks, the owner will be responsible. In this case, the circumstances of the incident do not matter (whether there was a provocation or not, etc.).
  5. Animal behavior in in public places is also the concern of its owner. For example, it is not allowed for a dog to be in transport, in a store or on a playground without a muzzle.
  6. It is prohibited to use public places as a toilet for an animal. The owner should not allow such things to happen. He is obliged to clean up after the pet in a timely manner.

If the owner notices that his pet is behaving strangely and may be dangerous to people around him, he is obliged to take measures to isolate him. In such cases, you should contact your veterinarian. When a pet dies, the owner is obliged to resolve the issue of its burial.

The apartment must be used for its intended purpose. That is, people are allowed to live there. In such premises it is prohibited to set up shelters, holding centers and special nurseries for animals. Such actions violate housing and sanitary-epidemiological standards.

If a person does not comply with the rules for keeping animals in an apartment building, he may be subject to administrative responsibility. In some cases, criminal penalties are possible.

Difficulties of keeping animals in an apartment

In general, a city apartment is far from the best place for keeping pets. It is understandable when small animals are kept in such a living space, but large species require much more space to provide normal conditions accommodation.

Lack of space, full walks, etc. negatively affects the character of the dog. This, in turn, can lead to unpleasant and disastrous consequences.

Dogs in apartments quite often disturb neighbors. For example, they may bark, which leads to a violation of legal regulations on silence. If this happens, the owner should eliminate this phenomenon as quickly as possible.

This is also a violation of sanitary rules. The situation may give rise to contacting the police or judicial authorities.

What will happen for violating the rules for keeping animals?

Depending on the type of violation, administrative or criminal liability. When the rules of detention are violated for the first time, the preventive measure is a warning. After this, the offender should eliminate the reasons that prompted the neighbors to complain.

The most common type of punishment for negligent pet owners is an administrative fine. The owner of the animal can be fined up to several thousand rubles.

If an animal causes harm to the health of another person, its owner may face criminal liability under Art. 118 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. This may include fines, forced labor, or imprisonment.

In addition, the victim has the right to demand compensation for physical and moral damage caused. The amount of compensation is determined individually. It is not regulated by law, and the victim has the right to request compensation in any amount that seems acceptable to him.

The neighbor's dog constantly barks - what should I do?

If the neighbor's dog constantly barks, then this, of course, will cause problems in relations with neighbors. The first thing to do is try to resolve the situation peacefully. You need to calmly talk to your neighbors and ask them to take action. A voice recording can be used as evidence.


If talking does not help, then you should observe the conditions in which the animal is kept. When there are signs of abuse, the police should be contacted. If suspicions are confirmed, neighbors face a fine of up to 300 thousand rubles or even criminal liability with imprisonment for up to two years.

How can you tell if an animal is being treated cruelly?

  • restrict movement (for example, a dog sits on a short chain, and the owner does not allow it to warm up);
  • there is no kennel in the yard where the dog is kept;
  • the owner does not act when the animal freezes or overheats;
  • deliberate persecution by thirst or hunger occurs;
  • the animal is subjected to unjustified suffering.

A complaint against a neighbor is drawn up in free form and can be signed by the team. You can take a photo or video as evidence.

If talking doesn't help and no abuse is identified, note the times at which your neighbor's dog barks. When this happens early in the morning (before 9 am) and late in the evening (after 10 pm), you can complain about a violation of the silence law.

The neighbor's dog shits in the entrance - what to do?

Responsibility for the behavior of the animal lies entirely with its owner. If a dog shits in the entrance, you should talk to the owner. When this does not help, the only thing left to do is complain to the police.

However, before you write a statement, make sure that it is your neighbor’s dog who is doing the “dirty business.” This will need to be confirmed with a photo or video.

The complaint may be collective. A lawyer will help you draw it up correctly.

If any difficulties arise, please contact legal advice. Get free legal assistance possible on our website. Ask a question to an expert in a special window.

Citizens living in an apartment building are not at all prohibited from having pets. However, in this case, they are required to comply with the rules and laws regarding keeping pets. If this does not happen, neighbors have every right to complain to law enforcement and judicial authorities.

FOR POO ON THE LAWN - A FINE OF UP TO 20 THOUSAND. RUBLES

The law establishes new rules for walking pets. If, according to the old, still Soviet, law, all dogs had to appear in places common use in muzzles and on leashes (whether this rule was followed or not is another question), now the muzzle is canceled.

It is enough to “keep the animal on a leash when crossing the roadway.” highway, in common areas of apartment buildings, on playgrounds and sports grounds.” Each animal “on a collar or bridle” must have a tag with the owner’s phone number.

Instead of a muzzle, dog owners will have to get a scoop: the law obliges “to prevent contamination of public places and territories with waste products of animals.” Otherwise, “responsible persons are obliged to ensure their immediate cleaning.”

Dog poop on the road, lawn, or playground now faces a hefty fine. The first time the owner will be held administratively liable and fined from 3 to 4 thousand rubles. A relapse within a year will cost from 10 to 20 thousand rubles.

By the way, walking a pet by a drunk owner risks a fine of “one to five thousand rubles.”

Those who forget to enter their tailed pet into the Animal Register will face a fine of “one to three thousand rubles.” However, the registration of animals is given three years from the date the law comes into force. So even the most leisurely ones will have plenty of time.

To register an animal, you will not need any documents about its purchase - it will be enough to verbally identify yourself as its owner.

The long-suffering bill on the responsible treatment of animals, which has lain in the Duma offices since 1999, is finally planned to be adopted this spring. What to expect for owners of dogs and cats, “Mir Novosti” figured out.

Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded that work on the bill be completed, saying that “the lack of rules and regulations in this area worsens the sanitary situation, and in some egregious cases results in cruelty to animals.”

HOW MANY ANIMALS ARE ALLOWED? AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!

The law will finally prohibit keeping wild animals in apartments - deputies promise to register each type of animal specifically, drawing up whole list. But if you bought a wild animal (for example, a tiger) before the law came into force - January 1, 2018 - then no one will force you to get rid of it.

Many expected the law to limit not only the types of animals that can be kept at home, but also their number. However, this did not happen. The maximum number of dogs and cats per city apartment is not specified in any way.

“The number of pets kept is determined by the possibility of providing them proper conditions maintenance, compliance with veterinary and sanitary standards,” the law vaguely states.

But now it will be possible to place a dog in a kennel near the entrance only with the written consent of all (!) residents registered in this entrance.

To prevent irresponsible citizens from throwing annoying dogs and cats out onto the street, each animal will be listed in a state register created specifically for this law. information system"Animal Register".

“If ownership of an animal is relinquished, the owner of the animal is obliged to find a new owner for the animal or transfer it to an animal shelter,” the law says. Moreover, contain former pet in the shelter you will have to use your own money - shelters are not obliged to accept abandoned animals for free.

EUTHANASY OF HOMELESS WILL BE BAN

The most revolutionary idea of ​​the new law is the ban on “regulating the number (population) of stray animals by killing them.” The exception is “the need to stop the suffering of a non-viable animal, if it cannot be stopped in any other way, or if the animal has rabies.”

Let us remind you that today the killing of stray animals is officially prohibited only in two cities of the Russian Federation - Moscow and St. Petersburg. In Moscow, animals are caught and placed in shelters, in St. Petersburg they are sterilized and returned to their habitats.

The new law obliges all regions to build shelters. Construction will have to be carried out at the expense of regional budgets. However, if there is no money for construction, the region has the right to follow the path of St. Petersburg.

It is also allowed to transfer captured animals “for maintenance individuals, individual entrepreneurs and legal entities”, give them to private shelters.

If an animal “accidentally” dies during the capture process, the capture workers will be held responsible for this - this is stated in the law. The same goes for shelter workers.

The law prescribes a new status - “public inspector for animal protection”. Anyone who has expressed a desire to provide assistance to the authorities can sign up to become a controller. state supervision assistance on a voluntary and free basis.” Each inspector will be issued a certificate.

Inspectors will have the right to seize material evidence of “offenses in the field of animal treatment and send relevant materials ... to state supervisory authorities.” They are also allowed to take photographs and videos of such offenses. However, ordinary citizens are also not prohibited from filming violations.

There are also several ambiguous aspects in the law. Thus, when selling an animal, the seller will have to provide the buyer with information about the animal “in writing”: he will need to indicate the breed of the animal, describe its character, habits and conditions in which this animal must be kept.

Giving an animal to a minor is prohibited. Now it will be possible to give a turtle only to the child’s parents, and will receive from them written agreement accept the gift.

The most strange was the chapter on bites by dogs with suspected rabies - legislators thoroughly disguised it: “Immediately report to the state supervisory authorities in the field of handling animals about all injuries caused to responsible person animals to humans or other animals, and deliver the said animal that caused the injury to the specified authorities for inspection and quarantine.”

The result is absurd: if one horse, for example, kicks another, then it turns out that it must be urgently dragged “to the state supervisory authorities” and quarantined.

New rules The main requirement for dog owners is to prevent the threat of attacks on people and animals and not to damage the property of individuals or legal entities. New concepts and requirements were added to the law on dog walking in Russia in 2018:

  • the collar should contain the owner's contact information;
  • The Federal Law gives the legislative right to subjects themselves to determine the list of places prohibited for walking;
  • dogs potentially dangerous breeds walked on a short leash and wearing a muzzle (in current law wearing a muzzle is not mandatory). A pet of this breed is allowed to be without a muzzle only in a fenced area belonging to the owner.

In the original version, the draft law had a list of potentially dangerous dog breeds, which was excluded after the first reading.

What rules and laws on keeping pets exist in 2018-2019

The updated version includes a definition: potentially dangerous dog breeds - breeds that carry potential threat human life and health. Separately, the Government of the Russian Federation must prepare a list of dangerous breeds. Punishment Violation of the rules is punishable by regional legislative documents.
The law on dog walking in Moscow, like laws and the Code of Administrative Offenses in other regions, established administrative penalties for citizens:

  • uncollected excrement - 1000 – 2000 rubles. (in other regions 500 – 3,000 rubles);
  • the appearance of dogs in the above-mentioned places without a leash and muzzle, the presence of a dog in territory prohibited for it - 1000 - 2000 rubles.

An example of cruelty that could be prevented by registration is the throwing of pets onto the street, which, unfortunately, is often practiced in our country. Laws coming into force in 2018 Terrible “guests” will visit those who have outstanding fines:

  1. From the State Traffic Inspectorate.
  2. For alimony.
  3. Compensation for moral and material damage (refusal).
  4. For various debts in the amount of over 10,000 rubles.

The powers of bailiffs will include the selection of driver's licenses for debts, but not immediately. Initially, the debtor will be notified of the debt. An offer of voluntary repayment will be made, and if refused, the case will be sent to a magistrate for consideration.


After their decision, FSSP employees will confiscate the driver’s license. However, there are a number of limitations in the selection procedure for universities.

Among other things, officials need to establish tangible fines for lack of registration and launch a mechanism for monitoring the implementation of the law. Rules for walking dogs in 2018 By a court decision, “knackers from Khabarovsk” are now serving time in a colony. The public considered the sentence for killing animals to be unjustifiably lenient - specifically under this article, girls were sentenced to compulsory labor, real time they received imprisonment for other crimes charged to them (robbery, insulting the feelings of believers and humiliation of human dignity). The draft law on amendments to Article 245 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Articles 150 and 151 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation was ready by November 2017, and 13 December State Duma deputies have already adopted the law on cruelty to animals in the final reading.

The law of the Russian Federation in 2018 has not yet entered into force due to the Duma’s constant postponement of the second reading. The law was expected to come into force on January 1, 2018. But due to disagreements between the State Duma committee and the Government of the Russian Federation, the project is still under consideration.

Law on keeping pets in the Russian Federation 2018

You can get acquainted with them at the information stands of city veterinary clinics, on their websites or on the website of the city administration. Review of the animal protection law - what threatens the flayers? Rules for walking dogs in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other regions The norms established by regional authorities have a lot in common. The rules for walking dogs in Moscow in 2018 are regulated by the city law.
Moscow dated November 21, 2007 No. 45 “Moscow Code of Administrative Offenses.” They are similar to the clauses of the federal document. In the Government Decree Sverdlovsk region No. 743-PP dated August 6, 2004 “On approximate rules keeping pets,” as for residents of St. Petersburg in Law No. 273-70 of May 31, 2010.

There is no national law regulating dog walking rules in all areas Russian Federation. But the owner of the dog is responsible for the illegal actions of his animal within the framework of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Essentially, if your dog causes serious harm to another person, you will be punished for causing that harm through negligence, i.e. in the worst case, arrest for up to 6 months according to .

Otherwise, legal relations involving animals are regulated by regional acts. Responsibility for violating dog walking rules, or improper keeping of pets usually does not exceed as long as your animal has not caused harm to anyone.

Rules for keeping and walking dogs in Moscow

In Moscow, the rules for keeping animals are determined by the Moscow City Code of Administrative Offenses “Administrative Offenses in the Field of Treatment of Animals.” While on the territory of Moscow, you cannot visit shops, playgrounds, markets, beaches with a dog without a leash and muzzle, or be on public transport. It is prohibited to walk dogs on the territory of healthcare institutions, kindergartens, schools and other educational institutions working with minors. It is prohibited to appear with a dog without a leash in natural and green areas. All these violations can cost you around 1000 rubles.

Walking dogs without a muzzle Moscow

As long as your dog has not bitten someone, legal relations involving animals are regulated by regional acts. Therefore, when considering this issue, we need to talk about a specific region. In Moscow, you can walk your dog without a muzzle. Restrictions are imposed only on visiting shops, playgrounds, markets, the beach and traveling in transport. In all of the above cases, the dog must have a muzzle, regardless of its size.

Law prohibiting dogs from walking on playgrounds

In Moscow, the rules for keeping animals are determined by Chapter 5 of the Moscow City Code on Administrative Offences, “Administrative Offenses in the Field of Treatment of Animals”. prohibits walking dogs in the territories of healthcare institutions, kindergartens, schools, other educational institutions and institutions working with minors.

On this moment The problem with dogs poses a great threat to residents of Moscow and other large cities. As statistics show, cases of aggressive behavior dogs in relation to people, and especially children. Many four-legged owners have no experience in caring for and handling dogs. Therefore, in most cases they do not understand or are not aware that mistreatment of animals leads to sad consequences that it is a big responsibility to have a dog. The loss of control over the dog trade and breeding has led to the emergence of huge amount dogs with unbalanced behavior that are difficult to train. Such dogs pose a great threat not only to strangers, but also for their owners. As a result, the number of people bitten by dogs that have owners increases.

When purchasing dogs, most people do not think about the fact that maintaining and caring for them requires a lot of effort and time. And when they encounter difficulties, they simply throw the dogs out into the street. According to various estimates, the statistics of stray dogs on the streets of Moscow are very deplorable: there are from 20 to 60 thousand of them. Many stray dogs unite in packs, thereby posing a threat not only to the elderly and children, but also to adult women and men, especially in terms of sanitary and hygienic conditions. Overproduction of dogs is the main reason for their harsh treatment, which is unacceptable in a civilized society.

The main reason for all these negative phenomena is the lack of quality legislation that would regulate the treatment of dogs.
